Hello, We have a patch to Galeon1 which we use to help provide restricted browsing capabilities for kiosks. We have found these modifcations useful, and I think they would make a good addition to Galeon. I would like to know if the Galeon team would be interested in integrating any of these modifications into the official Galeon, and if it would be worthwhile for me to port these changes to Galeon2. Here is a list of our modifications: 1) Kiosk mode: disables most menus (including accelerators) so that only the edit, go, and tab menus remain. Bookmark editing is not allowed, settings cannot be changed, context menus have restricted navigation, image, email, properties, and link options. New windows cannot be opened, only new tabs (it is intended to run full screen). 2) Super kiosk mode: No navigation of any kind is allowed; no menus, toolbars, etc. No vi naviagions keys, no new tabs or windows. 3) Disable proxy ui: prevent users from changing proxy settings. Independent from kiosk mode because there are cases where near-normal browsing is required, but proxies are mandatory. 4) No print prompt: No print dialog is shown; everything is automatically sent to the printer as configured in the gconf keys. This is userful for registration kiosks (print invoked from javascript). 5) No mime action prompt: Prevents the mime action dialog from being shown when the user clicks on a file with an unrecognized type. Instead shows a dialog that says downloading has been disabled. All of these items are controlled through the use of gconf keys.
